What a rabble-rouser

Obvi, Dr. Seuss is unfit to read to our children. You know, he had the balls to make his books meaningful to the adults that read them as well as the children who learned to read them.

But this? This is beyond the pale. That liberal, crazy, anti-war muckraker!

Kidding, folks.

On this anniversary of D-Day, you should really go take a look at the political cartoons that Theodore Geisel did during WW 2. The man was obviously a visionary. Or maybe it's just that we are incapable of learning from the past. Prolly. Either way, these two in particular stuck out at me as being perfect examples of today's USian society.

Anyway, be sure to take the time to appreciate any WW2 Veterans in your midst - those that fought the war in the Armed Forces, and those who simply survived it. Unfortunately, those amazing men and women won't be around that much longer for us to learn from. Listen to their lessons now.
